Traffic on Maitland: Constable Wright responded to an inquiry placed by the board regarding the Clyde/Maitland traffic corridor. The response was a traffic offence data compilation covering 2009 through 2013. Offences included speeding, bylaw (truck traffic) and other.
It was suggested that the numbers justify a more rigorous enforcement than what is apparent.
Bert suggested a lawn sign campaign along Maitland Avenue might help with the truck traffic issue.
Signs with ‘NO TRUCKS’ strung along Maitland might get the message across.
Suggestion to be revisited early next year aiming at a possible Spring effort.

Merivale Road Redevelopment (Arterial Mainstreet): Marjorie reported on attending a density study meeting. Provided a brief overview of population density index numbers as they apply to different business types and residential structures.

Bel Air Community Association: Marjorie reported meeting with Peter Carman, Bel Air Community Association President, and suggested we invite Peter to attend a future CPCA Executive meeting when appropriate. All were in favour.

MetroMedia: MetroMedia is the publisher of the Ottawa West News. Marjorie contacted them to ask if they would be interested in receiving CPCA event/activity announcements. They are interested.
Marjorie also requested receiving copies of the Ottawa West news for the condominiums.
Civic Hospital Expansion: Marjorie asked that we submit a CPCA letter opposing the process used by Minister John Baird, our MP, to donate Central Experimental Farmland to the Civic Hospital. We are not going to provide opinion on the re-assigned use of the land, just the process used by Minister Baird’s office. All were in favour.

CPCA Identity within the community: Marjorie suggested moving the AGM to Trinity United Church, a building that is actually within CPCA boundaries. All in favour. Marjorie to contact the church to reserve a time and space.
Also want to identify and contact community groups (churches, schools etc.) to invite them to provide us with event notices that we could add to our web site in an effort to help their cause(s) and our visibility.
